The distribution of water on the Earth's surface is extremely uneven. Only $3\%$ of water on the surface is fresh; the remaining $97\%$ resides in the ocean. Of freshwater, $69\%$ resides in glaciers, $30\%$ underground, and less than $1\%$ is located in lakes, rivers, and swamps. Freshwater is water that contains little or no dissolved salt. Most freshwater is frozen in ice caps and glaciers.
